Congratulation, your system is a nest of bugs, and compared to it, Microsoft softwares are running perfectly !!! Summary of the bugs encoutered: - Just after installation, half of the files in /etc dir have revision date in the future - it is IMPOSSIBLE to add new drivers for a printer of a VIDEO card. Do we have to reinstall a new version of Linux every time we buy a new model of a printer ? - when you use linuxconf and control-panel several times in a Linux session, you can no longer logout. Just swithc off the computer. - In the same environnement, I installed Linux a first time, and could do ftp to and from the Linux mahine. Because of some bugs (with the printers), I had to reinstall the system. I did exactly the same way, from the same CDROM. But now, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DO FTP TO the linux machine. Ftp is installed, and and I can do ftp from the Linux machine. But WHY, I do not know, it is completely impossible to do ftp from an other machine to the Linux machine, and the error message is: "Connection refused by the server". - I tried to installed the anoymous ftp server package. When I installed it from the CDROM, Linux says: "Warning, anonymous ftp needs "ftpserver"". But WHERE is ftpserver ? I checked on the CDROM: not there, I chekced the installation of anonymous ftp on the Linux documentation: nothing about ! The Documentation says "you just need to add "anon-ftp" and anonymous ftp will work perfectly". Just a lie ! Good luck for the future. And thank you in the name of Bill Gates: Now that I have tried Linux, I like Microsoft ! Best regards, Thomas
We're sorry you experienced so many problems. However, it appears that most of the problems you experienced were not related to documentation. In the case of your failure to find an RPM called "ftpserver", that is because "ftpserver" is a virtual dependency that can be satisfied by one or more RPMs that can act as an FTP server. One such RPM is wu-ftpd. We will attempt to make this aspect of our documentation clearer in future releases. Thank you for your feedback. Ed
